Canyon swinging in New Zealand is a giant rope which swings across one of the famous Shotover River Canyons in Queenstown. This is the World's highest swing—109 metres above the ground!
Jumpers are placed into a full body harness and then attached onto a twin rope swinging system. It is then over to you to jump into the unknown!
The beauty of The Swing is that you can jump off any way you like. You have the option of going forwards, backwards, face first, upside down, backwards or any other way you can imagine.
Once you 'depart' the platform you will freefall 60 metres or 200 feet down into the canyon until the ropes smoothly pendulum you into a giant 200 metre arc at 150 kilometres per hour. You will then complete a couple of massive swings before you come to rest.
This is one adrenaline rush you will not forget in a hurry!

Feed the control freak inside with the fastest adventure flight in the world, where you are put firmly in the pilot's seat.
It's your own personal rollercoaster, and this one's got a throttle"
Jimmy, UK
Get harnessed securely into a purpose-built plane connected to an overhead suspension point, fire up the engine and get winched into a near vertical release position...and then it's all up to you—you are in charge of the throttle and you're in charge of the steering.
Feel adrenalin flood your body as you release the tow, diving toward the valley floor at exhilarating speeds, before you rocket up the other side. Choose when to turn, choose your line, and choose how fast you want to go, because this is one ride where you are in control.
Limited numbers per trip and allocated spaces for spectators.
Take your time, relax and soak up the spectacular scenery.
